I feel the same way as you Rok. But I have this reserved opitimism that he will be something great. Similar to Marmol he bagan his career as a catcher but was converted in 2004. He is fairly new to pitching and his risen through the ranks rather quickly. It would be huge for the Cubs for him to be a cheap top notch starter since we have some dead money issues in the next few years.
